Election Information
Elections for the Board of Directors are held even years in May.  The next Directors election is Tuesday May, 4, 2010.  Tax questions or other ballot measures may be placed on the May or November ballot. 

The terms of the members of the Board of Directors are subject to term limits, limiting them to two consecutive 4-year terms in office.

Applications for Self-Nomination Forms are available at the Law Offices of Frederick Huff, 303-534-8318.  Applications must be received by the Law Offices no later than February 26, 2010 at 4:30 p.m.

Notices of Election, Calls for Nomination, and any other Notices required for District Board business will be published in the Boulder Daily Camera. 

Election Results for all District elections will be posted on this website.  November election results can also be found at the website for Boulder County Clerk and Recorder, as well as the Boulder Daily Camera.

Eligible electors may request to be placed on the permanent “Mail-in voter” status, which would provide that all elections run by this District (May elections of even numbered years) or run by the Clerk and Recorder (November elections in all years) of the County shall be mailed to them.  Boulder County Clerk and Recorder has officially recommended people take advantage of this process, as it is both cheaper for the County, and significantly more accurate.  Rocky Mountain Fire follows Boulder County in encouraging all voters to vote by mail ballot as “Mail-in Status” electors.

The form to request being put on the permanent “Mail-in Status”, is available at the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder’s website at www.voteboulder.org  or the Secretary of State at www.elections.colorado.gov.
